Beauty Stocking Filler Idea's

Hello Everyone, 

So we can definitely say now that Christmas is nearly here! 

Where the hell has time gone?! I just can't believe how quick Christmas has come round & where this whole year has gone.

I have been looking lately at the best kind of stocking fillers fro Christmas. Stocking fillers are the perfect way of giving a beauty lover a stocking full of lots of little beauty pieces. Who wouldn't love that right?

So I am going to give you some perfect beauty stocking filler ideas!

Missguided - Babe Power Rollerball Perfume

I had never smelt the Missguided fragrance until I got this & I have to say I am in love with the scent! It is a sweet smell just like candy floss. Plus this is the perfect size to carry around in your handbag & top up on the go. It also comes in a gorgeous rose gold casing. 

Missguided - Instant Feels & Vibe Enhancer Body Mist 

Just like the Babe Power scent these two are gorgeous scents. They are subtle yet so lovely. The perfect light fragrance. The packaging also is gorgeous & makes it look colourful & stand out. They are a great scent to spray on once you have finished getting ready to ensure you smell goods.

Sensational - Peel Off Polish

Sensational have just released their first collection of peel off polishes. They are water based colour, high gloss & peel off which makes it super handy! It dries in minutes & doesn't damage nails. It lasts for around 1-2 days so handy when you want to change your nail colour quick.

Sensational - Nailtural Colour Polish

Sensational have brought out this vegan nail polish which is made up of 85% bio sourced ingredients such as potato, wheat & corn. They come in over 20 gorgeous colours! They truly are perfect for any vegan & cruelty free beauty lover.

I hope you have enjoyed the ideas for the stocking filler's!

Perfect Christmas Pampering

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are well & had a good weekend & start to the working week.

I literally cannot believe how quick Christmas is now coming round. Or is that just me? The lead up to christmas always goes so fast. You start the your advent calendar & thats it.

One of the things that I think most people forget over Christmas is to take time out for themselves & have a little pamper session. Because let's face it there is always so much to prepare for when it comes to Christmas. Sometimes you need some time to unwind & de-stress. Not only that but we all need that bit of TLC that you deserve.

So here are some of my top Christmas pamper goodies for that night in to cosy up & watch you favourite christmas movie:

Clipper Tea
What better to have on a night in than tea! 
Clipper tea is a UK brand founded in Dorset in 1984. They were also the first UK company to create fair trade tea. All of their products are natural even down to the actual tea bags material. Most tea bags are bleached to make them the pearly white colour that they are but not Clipper's tea bags. Which is why you may notice they are not the perfect white colour. Clipper sell not only different tea's ranging from Green Tea, everyday tea, white tea, coffee, hot chocolate & other hot drinks. I have recently been trying to be a bit of a health geek so I have tried the organic pure green tea. They come in cute tea tea caddies with clip to keep them fresh. They are the perfect gift for any tea lover!

Pretty Animalz By MasqueBAR
What perfect way to get into the christmas spirit than a Christmas themed printed face sheet mask. I literally love face sheet masks. Simply because they are so easy to apply & are great to have on while you are watching a film. MasqueBAR have come up with these cute christmas animal designs on theirs. You can choose from: 

*Penguin - Helps to nourish & hydrate the skin.
*Polar Bear - Helps hydrate, calm & soothe the skin.
*Reindeer - Helps to nourish & condition the skin.

So there is a cute mask for everyone! I actually adore these!
They are available online at Asos, Feel Unique or at the House of Fraser.

Face Mask Duo 
As the name reads this face mask comes as a duo so you can choose from:

Option 1: Before the party - Dead sea purifying clay mask which helps to deeply cleanse to the skin & After the party which is a Manuka honey peel off mask which helps to nourish & moisturise the skin.

Option 2: Before the party - Super fruits Exfoliating mask, followed by a After the party of Black Seaweed Peel off mask.

I think they are the perfect product to help give your skin that extra bit of TLC that it can need after all the festive stress & events. They are available to purchase from Superdrug & are one of their new products which I think are fab! 

Hot Cocoa Cream Mask 

Sticking with the christmas themed face masks. iN.gredients have recently blessed us with 6 delicious festive flavour face masks. Each cleanse & purify your skin whilst helping to minimise the appearance of pores. It helps leave your skin feeling hydrated & nourished. Which is perfect for this time of year when the cold weather dries out your skin. You can choose from:

*Pumpkin Spice Latte
*Egg Nog 
*Candy Cane
*Apple Pie 
*Cranberry
*Hot Cocoa

Again like the other masks they are perfect for keeping on while watching a christmas film.
You can find them on Asos.

All the products are linked in their descriptions so if you want to find out more about them or treat yourself to some perfect christmas pampering goodies then these are perfect!

Take Care,

Christmas Sparkles

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you are all well & having a fab week.
The countdown to christmas has begun & already the days are flying by & christmas day is nearly here.
I literally do not know where time goes or is that just me?!

One of the best things about Christmas is all the glitter you can get away with especially when it comes to make up looks! You can apply as much glitter to your eye lids as you like & look sassy as.

I have been looking for a eyeshadow palette which includes glitter eye shadows but it can be tricky to find one that gives you just that. All of them seem to be just basic shades or pigmented colours. 

So when I come across Jolie Beauty I was very happy!
Jolie Beauty is based in the UK, everything they sell is cruelty free, not tested on animals & they favour vegan products where they possibly can. They also regularly donate to animal charities & help promote awareness towards animal testing. Which I think there isn't enough brands out there that do anything like this. It is literally unheard of!

Jolie beauty sell make up brushes, which are made of synthetic hair not mink or animal hair. They also sell palettes, lip sticks, eyelashes, highlighters, contour kits & so many other different make up products. You literally are spoilt for choice!

The eyeshadow palettes they do are literally gorgeous! They cover so many different shades. Whether it be glitter or matte.

So I picked the Luxe Glitter Palette which comes with 5 eye glitters & 5 matte shades. So you can use both the matte & the glitter shades to create the perfect christmas eye make up look.

The shades go from a pale pink all the way into a deep pink rust. Then each matte shades has a glitter colour to match it! The eyeshadows are even water resistant! The colours are so pigmented & such amazing quality I literally cannot get enough of them!

Bouquet Of Happiness

19:58pm
Happy Friday everyone!
I know I have perhaps been abit pants this week at posting even though I have had the week off work but I have been doing some blog related pieces still so make sure you keep a look out at my blog & also Instagram in the next few weeks! Because I will also be doing a give away!
 This past week I've been so up & down with my moods & so hormonal. I can be such a nightmare at times. But let's not go into the details of that shall we.

Today I have had something delivered which has made my day!
Like any other woman I love flowers & there is something extra special about receiving them at your door than being handed a supermarket bunch. Not wanting to seem ungrateful but there is definitely something about them being delivered to your door isn't there? That's not just me.

I love flowers they are such a pick me up not just to look at but also because they can fragrance any room & just genuinely make you feel abit better. I tend to like having some in my room on my bed side cabinet so I can wake up to them. Is that a daft thing to say? I think I am sounding old.

This time of year you can get some such beautiful bouquets! The colours & smells are so Christmassy. I just adore it!

I used to buy flowers & gifts from interflora but after they not delivering to my mum on Mother's Day once it has put me off them so i have tried to mind other places to order from. I come across Prestige flowers who have some amazing winter bouquets. Containing all those Christmassy colours! From roses to lilies to golden accessories in the bouquets. I sometimes think florists can be pretty overpriced too but when I saw the cost of Prestige flowers i have to say I was impressed! Because they were so reasonable. Which to me is another important thing because some places you can pay through the roof places for the flowers & when they arrive the bouquet is no way as full as they show in the pictures & to me that is sneaky!

But when my bouquet arrived from Prestige flowers I was so impressed! Not only because of the price but also they were well packaged so they did not get damaged in transit but they were also wrapped in a kind of water filled bag to ensure they were kept alive while being shipped. They come beautifully wrapped & the bouquet was as it showed online a nice full bunch.

I picked out the winter warmer bouquet which is £24.99 currently online. But there are so many other reasonably priced flowers so it made it a hard choice!

Not only that but you can order up to 9pm for next day delivery! So if you suddenly forget an anniversary or a birthday or even just to send someone some flowers to make there day then you can right up to 9pm! They do also have an app you can download to your phone to make it easier to order while you are on the go! So it's quick, simple & easy to do. You can also add gifts on to your delivery too! Whether it be chocolates, balloons, a hamper. A vast range of gifts can be sent with them. Which is such a lovely thought I think & I know it would make my day that's for sure.

All their bouquets come with a care card of how to care for your flowers. So if you aren't 100% sure of what you need to to with them that will be sure to help you out.

You really won't be disappointed with them & they are a fraction of the cost of interflora I think personally. Plus you get more for your money.

Take care,

Little Stocking Fillers

21:42pm
Good Evening!
Wow we are Wednesday already! How times flies when you're having fun! This week is going pretty quick I have to say. Half way through the working week already.

I still cannot get over the fact that we are in November already! How have we got to the 11th month? I think I have like blinked & this year has gone. It's actually pretty scary don't you think?
We have like next to no time left till Christmas & I have only just got one present so far. Which is for my nephew because let's face it a two year old is easy to buy for & easily pleased unlike some difficult people.

I think at Christmas time sometimes you can struggle to find like smaller presents of like a lower value. Sometimes you don't want to purchase a big expensive present you might want to buy lots of little ones or like even stocking fillers sometimes things of a lower value are a nightmare to track down. Especially if you want something small & personal. Not your normal beauty products or food items. You want somehow to add your own personal touch to it & one thing I have mentioned to you before was initial items. As you may know I cannot get enough of them! I have a phone case, keyring, bracelet, necklace. I think that is it....

I think initial or personalised items definitely give things that personal & thoughtful touch. Not only the fact because it's made just for them with their name on it but also because it's not something anyone can just buy & pass to someone thought has gone into it.

I have come across a company called Cover-Appeal who have a range of ladies clothing, fashion accessories & gifts. They are a pop up boutique who take their shop to charity, corporate & fashion events & another of numerous events & activities. They even offer a pop up in the comfort of your own home! What could be better a group of your friends & family & browsing through fashion! That's my idea of a perfect evening.  They do however also have an Instagram, Facebook page, twitter page & also a website where you can purchase & find out more about their items & purchase.

They do a range of perfect stocking filler ideas & smaller gift items online that I noticed on their Instagram page. Which yes is initial related but they do also do other items such as cute jewellery pieces & things. They also stock a brand called Lola and Gilbert which do some really cute quote make up bags, tote bags & purses which are all stocked on their website.

I found an initial purse which has a gold glitter letter on there. Which is like a denim colour. It is a reasonable size for both money & coins. Or you could use it as small storage bag for jewellery items & things. It has a multi person use I think. I just love how it is your initial of your name of it & you get to choose that. Super cute! The face that is is under £7 too I think is a bargain & just perfect for a cute little stocking filler or part of a present for someone this Christmas. There are others that they do in the range which are not personalised. They have perfect girlie quotes like "better to arrive late than ugly" Perfect idea for anyone you know who loves a funny girly quote

But not only that if it's clothing you are looking for they have some perfect autumnal pieces & other bits! So if you want some great Christmas gift ideas definitely check them out!
